The Liberian Registry has developed a satellite-based compliance assistance programme (CAP) which has helped ensure regulatory compliance and prevent detentions in some of the world’s most active port state control (PSC) areas. The Registry said the process has contributed to Liberia being named as the best-performing major ship registry worldwide in the last three years, a period during which it has featured on all PSC White Lists and has been included in the prestigious US Qualship 21 programme. The Paris Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) statistics also confirmed Liberia had the best detention rate amongst the largest major flag states.
